This is the best of the best I play this every day . Because the music today is very poor these are real muscians no sampling no drum machines these guys are the real deal r I p Grover the best

Awesome. Been listening to Grover for 40 years now. No sax player is as smooth and melodic as he was.

Grover and the gang's music still blowing us all away to this day. Masterclass in jazz funk fusion.

In these moments still yet Alive.. was die ing of Breast Cancer was able to see Grover Washington Hollywood Bowl..Hollywood California 1979.. I now celebrate 70th Birthday Thank you God for the Candy Man .. I have a Testimony..

Love this. While I was going into surgery I asked for Music. And it was this Great sound. Thank you. I will continue to listen to it until my last days. Love it

I was born in the mid 1970s. I'm so glad my mom introduced me to all the great music of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. R.I.P. Mom.

The 1,1k that disliked this video must have Parkinsons.. the only logical explenation to not give a thumbs up to this piece of art!

Eric Gale is always making me goosebumps on his solo! Camon man, this is top-level soloing!

Rest in powerful peace Grover Washington Jr. ✌ 💗 ⚘ ⚘ 🎶 🎷 12 December 1943 ~ 17 December 1999⚘

Love it. Grew up listening to my dad 8 track player, now 62 yrs. Still by far, Love it, real JAZZ!!!

I will never get sick of this performance. Silky smooth and so locked in its beyond ridiculous ❤ good to see eric gale smile in this clip... always so serious with 'stuff'.

My number-one sax player, the late Mr. Washington. The man responsible for turning me, as a young teen, into a jazz fan. Thank you for your lasting musical legacy. I was honored to see you perform live, at Wolf Trap, shortly before God called you home.

Always loved Grover Washington and will continue❤😊

i'm listening to this in 2024 saw him live in Albuquerque and i'm still not the same

Its awesome to realize every player is this performance has been often-imitated, but will never duplicated. Respect and RIP to Grover Washington Jr, Eric Gale, Richard Tee, Paul Griffin, and Ralph MacDonald.

I have to admit this is the anthem of Jazz and nobody does it like Grovor Washington such a master truly a master. Love his music

RIP Mr. Majic Grover Washington Jr. Thanks for the music.

These guys awesome ,good school for the new generations to come.a soulfully music for smart PEOPLE.

A time when musical geniuses lived and their artistry inspired our lives for the better.

It gets NO better than this.Richard T,Steve Gadd,Ralph McDonald,Anthony Jackson,Eric Gayle......

I first met Mr. Magic on the campus of Temple University he was leaving Tyler School of Music I was about 11 years old he let me see his saxophone. Been hooked every since.

I can't even put it into words what a great talent G.W was a true master of his brand of intertainment when you speak of musicians that were great at playing the saxophone his name must be included

They went in on this one! ....Straight pocket groove!..🎼🎶🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤

This is my absolute favorite song RIP Mr. Washington

Still sounds fresh today, Timeless !

Amazing men for an amazing music thank you

This music 🎼🎵 takes me back when I lived in Tulsa,OK. My Tio play in a Blues, Jazz , Funk Band, Mezclave, Congas. Jam!! Jam!!

No words can reflect how this music makes me feel....let’s simply say ...happy!

Gone too early but,left a funkyjazz legacy....thanks for the memories..77,78,79 and 1980. Summer song

Saw them all in the 70s….. there is some amazing music in heaven…

This is just beautiful. Pure magic.

I had the good fortune to see Grover live six months before he passed. It was a dream for me to see and hear the man I'd worshiped for decades play. He did not disappoint. What was even more amazing than his musicianship was the sense you got that he was happy to be playing for you. A musical genius. A nice man.

Loving it!!!!!!! 🌚🫀🌌👏🎁

I saw Grover live twice. Most exciting live performances ever. He was the BEST!

This is my all time favorite of any live version greatest muscians

, THIS WAS A VERY GOOD CONCERT WITH OUTSTANDING SHOWMANSHIP AND ENTERTAINMENT.

I grew up playing Texas blues, funk and soul and am a groove oriented drummer. My favorite drummer is Bernard Purdie and favorite groove is the half time shuffle which (depending on how it’s played) can be a very busy groove. Then there’s Steve Gadd… his grooves often take the opposite approach. He will use the space created by NOT hitting a drum or cymbal to accentuate a groove. Outstanding musician and an American treasure. As are all of these musicians. How awesome would it be to play with Grover! I am blessed to have been born in 70. Great video.

I think Grover Washington Jr has been gone longer than this post 10 years ago. He passed in December 1999. I remember buying his album back in 1974 for me, I'm an ol head😁 Loved Mr Magic ✨💗

Awesome music 🎵 🎶 👍👍👍👍

2 of the best rhythm rifs and base lines ever only to be over shadowed by one of the greatest sax blowers to grace our ears!🎸🎷🎺🎵🎼🎶✊

Man talk about a great lineup! Grover, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Anthony Jackson. I still pull out those wonderful CTI records from time to time and they take me back to a much simpler and wonderful time in my life.

I am South African, I grow up my old brothers in the 70s played these songs, jazzing it up, in my music collection, I have these songs. Eric Gale, the guitarist, Adris Mohamed, Bob James, Quincy, King Curtis, etc.

Mister Magicians all. I finally got to see Grover live, albeit probably his last road tour he came to Albuquerque. You could tell he didn’t have the lung vitality but his fans were so grateful to hear him play. Thank you Ralph Mcdonald you wrote a masterpiece.

Just one Word: Awesome !

My favorite Jazz piece of all time. My oldest brother still plays the drum's to this whenever he can today, and today he's blessed to turn 75 years young, Happy Blessed Birthday Big Brother! Much love to you and may God bless you with many more to come.

What a shame. Taken from us way too early. Only 37 years old. Such a master at his craft.

When I first heard this guy on sax, I went out and bought me one. Been playing ever since

awesome! thnx for sharing!

Mister Magic were always black magic to me.

Saw Grover in '89... RIP my brother in Christ....

This is an audience that appreciates great music.

This is forever GOLDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

boy, am I glad that I was born in an era when music didn't suck !!!!!

Not only in Washington but everywhere he goes, Grover takes the groove with him....NATURALLY!!! Thank you, Mister Magic.

Steve Gadd....master of high hat, snare and bass drum...all brilliant musicians btw.

Playing in June 2019! Smooth is smooth, jamming is jamming, good music brings LIFE into your SOUL!

Now this is real music ...I missed these times ..

Grover Washington Jr. was the man...Rest in power....

These are the cats to whom I grew up listening. One of my favorite bassists Anthony Jackson, drummer Steve Gadd, both of whom are still doing it. Love it. Grover and Eric - R.I.P. my brothers.

Grover always looked like he was smiling while he was playing that tenor. God Bless Him

I know every musician in this clip, my beloved Ralph McDonald. I was blessed to be in studio with them. The best studio cats ever

Who ever dislike this tipe of music. Don.t know what music is all about

I remember when this was played on regular radio! Miss those days!

I was playing this in San Fran and a cop pulled up next to me and said TURN THAT UP! LOL

anyone that has seen and felt that music is truly blessed.

I was no more than 8 yrs old and learned how to start a party with the original version of this song 42 years😢ago and still doing it,thanks

Wow, this whole live performance is on a DIFFERENT level. Best cowbell performance ever.

Good old Grover Washington he made a lot of magic happened in the city of Philadelphia we will always be grateful to his contribution to this great City may that be love brother rest in peace Mr Magic

Have always loved this cut. Even more so now

R I P Grover Washington Jr Your music will last forever.

I was in Hampton VA in 1990 interviewing potential Colleges for my daughter to attend. I heard on the radio that he was in town. Rushed over got tickets, was near the front of the line when the doors opened and got an aisle seat 4 rows from the stage. He came off stage when he played this song and I could have touched him when he came down the aisle. Ranks up there as one of the BEST concerts I have attended. R.I.P.

A most enjoyable experience with the Master. How I thank the Lord for KZfaq. It keeps Grover alive in visual and audible as well as spiritual. By the way, Eric Gales playing here is top notch too. What a cool cat.

what a drummer!!!! He amazes me! Would love to meet Steve Gadd! A legend!

I grew up on this in the early 70's, this & Headhunter were my favorite kicking back music

This is just 14mins 39 secs of pure talent 👌🏼. Back in the day, musicians had talent unlike nowadays. I loved enjoying watching their enthusiasm - what a buzz! Miss this type of jazzy vibe today. No one can match or beat it! RIP GWJ. 💖

If you don’t love this tune , their is something wrong with you! That drum set sounds perfect! Steve you are awesome!

UPにとても感謝してます^_^ 1981年は音楽業界全体的に良作に恵まれ のちに出尽くしてしまったのでわと言われる程、本当にどの分野も秀作で溢れていましたGroverWashingtonjr.も例外なく大変素晴らしいアルバムをリリースしました アルバムワインライトは彼の作品中1番好きなアルバムです 又この当時がライブの演奏も1番アブラの乗ったと言った感じです

Got introduced to jazz in college in 1980 and Grover was my first taste of the sweetness of smooth jazz ! ! Studied many a night with his music in the background. This music is timeless ! ! A true legend ! !

crazy drum and percussion break. amazing players all the way around, eric gale, anthony jackson, richard tee and, of course, Grover Washington Jr.! Wooooo! Thanks for posting!! I've seen this same rhythm section live with Paul Simon (in late 1970s) and they COOK!

I have a very good time when I listen to Mr Grover Washington Jr. Priceless!

Used to catch Grover in person at The Viking club in Cincinnati! Fantastic then and now! Thanks for Mr. Magic!

GROVER WASHINGTON AND HIS ALL STAR STUDIO MUSICIANS RECORDING -THE DREAM TEAM

I'm his number one fan and that you can be sure of. I've followed Grover all over Philly. Teds Supper Club, The Bijou, Academy of Music, All Over Atlantic City, Zanzibar Blue Love Love Love this man's talent. #Unmatched. #Trulyunsung Jazz fusion at its best. And the band is off the chizzy.

Never saw this before -- best version of Mr Magic I've seen or heard. Missing Grover.

I had the privilege of seeing Grover in Hanford, Ca. in the middle 90's. It was a soaring, beautiful, wonderful show!! Mister Magic, with Grover prancing up and down the outdoor aisles, it was magnificent. And like many others, I was introduced to Grover Washington by a college friend when this album came out, which led to my continued enjoyment of smooth/contemporary jazz ever since. RIP GWjr.

I do it, daily😎😂 stuff like this points out what Music is all about passion feeling sounds rhythm just like life is! Thanks for sharing this.❤

First heard this in my dorm at N.M.U.in '76 as an intro to uptempo jazz..lever looked back!!! Shout out to all the excellent artists that come keep the art form alive & thriving while con tributING their best each year at home town Detroit Int'l Jazz Festival😎

It makes me so happy to see Grover clapping and smiling to this HUGE groove! And I love it when the drummer really starts grooving 4 minutes in....Bassman is really grooving too! Love this!!

Eric's solo and playing on the studio version of Mister Magic is a thing of utter beauty. Great memories tied to that track. RIP Grover & Eric.

A lot of respect to the late Eric Gale on guitars 👍👍👍👍👍. Didn’t get the recognition that he deserved for being the awesome guitarist that he was . His stint with his group ‘Stuff’ and his solo albums are still full of his skilled playing . Long live his sound , his music ,his talent. He needs to be honored.

Listening to Jazz, helps chase the blues away!

The live version sounds so good and clean 😎🖒

So sweeeeet! The best way to spend 15 minutes,thank you for posting it.

Aml listening from Mzantsi South Africa.Every time this song plays it's like it has been renewed. Its really a masterpiece.

Just the pure joy which is being expressed by each musician - good times.
